The Ei chlorine generator has an in-built pump protection feature (when the Ei 
pump output is used). This feature is designed to prevent pump damage due 
to the pump running dry. The pump protection feature operates in the following 
way:  

If a ‘no flow’ situation occurs for more than 3 minutes, while the pump output 
is turned ON, the pump will automatically turn OFF. At this point ‘CHECK 
EQUIPMENT!’ is displayed on the screen. The pump output will remain off for 
14-15 minutes (to allow the pump to cool). After this time the pump output will 
turn on again for 3-4 minutes. If flow is not restored during this time, the pump 
output is permanently turned OFF (to prevent damage to the pump).  

NOTE: If at any time during the pump protection process, flow is 
restored, the Ei will revert back to normal operation.

The pump protection timer can be manually reset by pressing 

 button 

twice.
